Zong Zheng Xingyao: ...
Well, her father might indeed do something cruel and inhumane.
"But I can't... help you bring my father..."
Li Qingluo: "Do you want to use your merit in saving the emperor in exchange for the possibility of not becoming a monk and marrying into the Western Regions?"
Zong Zheng Xingyao: "My Lady, what should I do?"
Li Qingluo curled his lips and said, "That's easy."
Just as she was talking to Nangong Xingyao for a few words, Madam Zheng came in hurriedly: "Oh no! A large number of guards are coming over here to investigate!"
Li Qingluo looked at Zongzheng Xingyao.
Zong Zheng Xingyao immediately waved her hand and shook her head: "It's not me!"
"I, I didn't mean to betray you at all."
"Maybe it's because this cold palace is where my father lived as a child, so maybe they want to come here to look for it."
Li Qingluo: "What did you say?"
"Is this the cold palace where your father and your aunt stayed?"
Isn’t that the place where my mother was born and grew up?
Li Qingluo looked at the dark bed and remembered that her mother was born on it.
Looking at the pony and the stool, they might be things my mother used when she was young.
Looking at this shabby room again, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
His eyes softened unconsciously.
Seeing her suddenly lost in thought, Zong Zheng Xingyao couldn't help but push her: "Nangong Qingluo? Nangong Qingluo, what's wrong with you?"
Li Qingluo took a deep breath and said, "Let's hide first."
Li Qingluo raised his head and looked around.
The beams cannot be hidden.
This house is leaking. When these guards come in and see the puddles on the ground, they will definitely look up to check.
However, the big tree in the yard is lush and leafy. No one has repaired it over the years, and no one dares to raft it, so it has now grown into an extremely exaggerated giant tree.
"Walk!"
The four hid in the trees.
When the guards hurried in and inspected the area but found nothing, they never imagined that the tree could hide someone.
After everyone had left, Li Qingluo took the lead and jumped down with Zong Zheng Xingyao.
Nanny Zheng was dawdling behind, and after putting the person under the tree, Li Qingluo was looking at the pit on the ground.
"Back then, the late queen was buried here, right?"
Zong Zheng Xingyao: "How do you know?"
"Father never allows anyone to approach this cold palace."
"Including himself, I heard that he never came back since he left."
"How come your grandmother is buried here?"
Li Qingluo: "I guessed."
Isn’t this the only big tree in this yard?
Anyone who has heard the story of the late queen can guess it, right?
Li Qingluo thought of what happened to the late queen and felt sorry for herself.
But it was precisely because she was not decisive enough and incompetent at the beginning that her mother was born in the cold palace, and the brother and sister had to spend countless difficult days and nights in the cold palace, suffering and enduring hardships.
However, I have no right to blame others.
After all, I was useless in my previous life.
"Let's go."
Li Qingluo turned around and met the eyes of the Emperor of Chu who were staring at her like a poisonous snake.
When did he wake up?
Li Qingluo looked at Nanny Zheng, who had a bitter look on her face. How could she dare to say anything?
Zong Zheng Xingyao rolled his eyes and fainted.
After Li Qingluo knocked the person unconscious again.
Zong Zheng Xingyao cried with a sad face.
"It's over, it's over!"
"Woo woo, originally you wanted me to save the emperor, but now, my father has seen that you and I are in collusion. I'm afraid that when he wakes up, he will kill me directly, not to mention the marriage."
“Wuwuwu…”
Li Qingluo: "Why give him the chance to kill you?"
"If we can't let him live, won't everything be solved?"
Zong Zheng Xingyao sobbed twice: "Are you crazy? I will never kill my father!!"
"Moreover, even if my father dies, my prince brother will definitely follow my father's original plan and marry me off to the Western Regions."
"It's all in vain! Woo woo woo ..."
Li Qingluo had a headache.
The voice couldn't help but rise a few notes: "Stop crying!"
Zong Zheng Xingyao was genuinely choked up.
He looked as if he was frightened by Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo quickly said, "I'll tie you and your father up together. When he wakes up next time, he'll understand that I'm holding you hostage."
"As for whether your father will be moved by you, or will he go back on his word after being moved, based on your understanding of him, is this something you can determine?"
Zong Zheng Xingyao shook his head.
Li Qingluo: "I thought the only way was to kill him——"
As she spoke, she slashed her neck with her knife and said fiercely, "To prevent future troubles!"
"As for the prince you mentioned, is it difficult to tamper with the drafted documents?"
Zong Zheng Xingyao's eyes lit up.
My mind seemed to suddenly become clear.
"Nangong Qingluo, you are so smart!"
"It really has to be you!!"
Li Qingluo: "So, you are willing to kill your father?"
Of course Zong Zheng Xingyao didn't dare.
Li Qingluo was just teasing her.
In the blink of an eye, it was night again.
The entire palace was still brightly lit.
Although the prince's search became more and more perfunctory, his appearance was becoming more and more complete.
On the surface, no one could find fault with him not being attentive enough.
Although the news of the Chu Emperor's disappearance had not yet spread to the entire court, some rumors had already leaked out.
Now the whole Nan'an is becoming somewhat panic-stricken.
People began to come in and out of the palace.
